4 GIGABIT ETHERNET PORTS

PERFORMANCE PERFECTED™

With an advanced 1.6 GHz dual-core CPU and an impressive 512MB of RAM, the WRT1900ACS delivers improvements in wired, wireless, and network storage performance over its predecessor, the WRT1900AC. At speeds up to N600 + AC1300 Mbps, the WRT1900ACS WiFi Router meets the needs of the most demanding home wireless networks. Equipped with a four-antenna configuration, the router provides exceptional signal strength and range. Advanced users also have the option of modifying the router with open source firmware.

512MB OF RAM FOR IMPROVED DATA TRANSFER

The WRT1900ACS comes equipped with 512MB of RAM that works in tandem with the 1.6GHz CPU to move movies, music, and other large files faster. With more than double the memory of its predecessor, the WRT1900ACS improves data transfer speeds, allowing you to do more, faster.

USB 3.0, ESATA, & GIGABIT ETHERNET PORTS TO SHARE FILES

The WRT1900ACS has four Gigabit Ethernet ports that are perfect for transferring large media libraries at speeds 10X faster than Fast Ethernet. To stream or send large files across your network at high speed, simply connect a flash drive to the USB 3.0 port or an external SATA storage device to the eSATA port. The eSATA port also serves as a USB 2.0 port.

FOUR EXTERNAL ANTENNAS FOR GREATER RANGE & COVERAGE

The WRT1900ACS features four external, adjustable high-performance antennas that provide strong, reliable coverage throughout your home. The unique antenna diversity technology onboard helps your laptop, tablet, smartphone, and other connected devices achieve an optimal connection, wherever they are in your home. The antennas also enhance coverage for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, keeping everyone gaming, downloading, and streaming without lag.

BEAMFORMING FOR STRONGER, MORE FOCUSED WiFi CONNECTIONS

Designed especially for today's mobile-device households, the WRT1900ACS features Beamforming technology, which focuses wireless signals at a receiving device rather than simply sending out WiFi in a general direction.

OPEN SOURCE READY

While the Linksys WRT1900ACS provides an outstanding experience via Smart WiFi immediately out of the box, advanced users can further modify the router with open source firmware. Developed for use with OpenWRT, an open source, Linux-based operating system, the router offers an additional layer of customization to suit your needs.

Where's wireless N?So it says it support wireless N. I have a Dell laptop with Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6205, my throughput on my speed test is barely at 2MB/S connected to 5Ghz.
I'm also the same person that wrote the review of the EA8500 that I took back to BestBuy. Looks like I'll be taking this one back as well. I guess no more Linksys routers for me, two strikes so far.
Here's my photos attached, the whopping 2.34MB connection is connected to 5Ghz and the better 73MB on 2.4G. How's that possible?
If I enable TWC's Arris Modem's built in Wireless I get up to 133MB connection on N but I don't want to use the all in one from TWC.
So, where's N mode? As i don't see it in the router settings.

Powerful Wifi Router !!!I'm liking this new version WRT1900ACS with its new features Dual Core 1.6GHz, 128MB flash, & 512 !!!! MB DDR3 RAM !!!. I am currently running 4 pc's and 22 wifi devices connected with no drop. I'm glad I choose this new ACS over any other router out in the market. I also paired this ACS model with Linksys newest switches model WRT8 Ports Gigabyte & with the Linksys model SE3005 /5 ports.... I strongly believe I made the right choice. I would like to see Linksys built a big big FAT wifi router just for the looks.
My last thought, good job Linksys ! WRT1900ACS is a winner..

Always Needs to be Rebooted!! Very DisapointedDisappointment cannot even start to describe my feelings about this router. $250 waste of money. When it works it works great. Problem is that is less than 24 hours at a time, just about daily it slows or just loses connection for no reason. Everything works great after you reboot but wow this is $250 should not need to have to be rebooted daily or before you do anything important online. It just recently lost connection while I was taking an exam online. Caused me a great deal of problems because of it. This router might test out great but any place that gave it good reviews never used it for a 24 hours more less a week. At this point I want my money back.

Powerful & Reliable, Lacks FeaturesI tried and returned five comparable routers before settling on the WRT1900ACS (v2). The WiFi is always fast and reliable, and the signal is consistently strong across my medium-sized house. My only complaint is about the admin interface; there are still a few bugs that should be fixed in future firmware updates. For example, after upgrading the firmware, the OpenVPN settings get erased, and you must reset all settings to defaults in order to restore the OpenVPN functionality. Also, it would be nice to have more advanced control of various settings, such as pushing a custom search domain to LAN DHCP clients, rather than using the one obtained from ISP via WAN DHCP.

Mostly Pleased with the WRT1900ACSI moved from the E3000 to the 1900ACS for two reasons and those were better parent controls and hopefully better wireless coverage. I am pleased with the results in both cases. However, improvements in the guest control feature as well as parental controls would make this a superb router for those needing such features. I have had to restart the router a few times to be able to access the wireless side of the router. Using three different wireless devices produced the same message "unable to authenticate". Once the router was restarted all devices were then able to use the wireless connection. Not really sure why this happens, but it has only happened 3 times in about a month.

Easy setup, works great.I usually stay comfortably behind the technology curve at home (frugal and just don't care about the latest gadgets) but I bought this unit to serve my two new smart TV's (what was I thinking waiting so long for 1080p HD?) and it is great. I use computers every day at work but I am not well versed in setup or any system admin stuff. This router has simple setup instructions and it was very fast and easy to setup using the browser on my mac laptop. It is working perfectly and I am very pleased with it. I'd certainly recommend it.

Major upgradeI upgraded to the WRT1900ACS router from a Cisco Linksys E4200. My internet is through U-verse on an NVG510 modem. Setting up the E4200 with the NVG510 was a complex project, and I expected the same hurdles with the WRT1900ACS. Anticipating that, I replicated the settings from the E4200, including setting the WRT1900ACS Internet Connection Type as Static, etc., etc. That ended up being a mistake. After Linksys tech support had me reset it to DHCP Auto Config and doing a reset, the entire network is working beautifully, including being able to establish connections to devices I had given up on.
Major upgrade with unanticipated benefits.

Stability issuesWe use a VPN Connection (separate OpenVPN Server not the included) and the biggest Problem with this Router is the stability. We also use one client as a webradio over LAN, so we can hear when the internet is not working (We have FTTH 1Gbits).
Also there is a strange behavior when someone uses Wifi. If you transfer big files over Wifi (thank God most of our client only use LAN) the Wifi completly breaks down. But not only that the LAN Clients also lose connection.
My advise to you: only buy this thing if you are not using it in a productive environment and don't need Wifi. A big disappointment for this price.
I will test openwrt. Hopefully this is more stable.

*The standard transmission rates—450 Mbps or 1300 Mbps (for 5 GHz), 600 Mbps (for 2.4 GHz), 54 Mbps, and 11 Mbps—are the physical data rates. Actual data throughput will be lower and may depend on the mix of wireless products used and external factors.**While Linksys fully embraces the open source community and is providing open source use capabilities, they do not offer technical support on using open source firmware.
